Fritz occupies the same milieu as Doc -- skip tracers, private  
investigators, at the fringes of and actually doing some of the local  
police dirty work (Doc setting up shake-downs).  In that sense, Fritz  
seems related to the hackers who used the Internet and other computer- 
based tools to advance the cause of the defense industry and other not- 
benign US government applications. I don't know Gates' biography well  
enough to know if he did anything specific that might somehow parallel  
what  Fritz does.
